I assumed this book was an anthology of articles from the magazine until publisher, Adam Parfrey, explained: ...

... Oswald left New Orleans for Mexico City to visit the Cuban and Soviet Embassies. He re-entered the United States on 3rd October and headed for Dallas. On November 24th he was shot dead by Jack Ruby. Clay Shaw, Jim Garrison (and others)In mid-February 1967, nearly three and a half years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, news reports emanating from New Orleans claimed that the local district attorney, Jim Garrison, was investigating the President's murder. Within a week Garrison was holding a press conference and claiming that he had 'positively solved the assassination of John F. Kennedy'. On the day the news of Garrison's investigation broke in ...

... because it was just too long and something had to go. Faced with the idea of interviewing someone like Scott I chose not to attempt a detailed poke through the man's writing. That would have been fun for me, interesting for a couple of dozen JFK buffs, but probably unintelligible to most people. Inevitably we got onto the JFK assassination, but not, I hope, before some other, equally interesting, material. Peter Dale Scott has a number of 'hats'. He is Professor of English at the University of California, a literary critic, a poet, a translator of poetry. He is also a scholar of the post-war history of US involvement ...

... very ordinary happened in Texas. The mailman delivered a standard Postal Service slip to the Irving home of Ruth Paine. It stated that a package with 12 cents postage due was being held at the post office for Lee Oswald, the husband of her temporary lodger Marina Oswald. This form was found on 23 November, the day after the assassination of US President John Kennedy, during the Dallas Police Department's search of Mrs Paine's home. On 6 December a parcel was found in the dead letter department of the Irving post office. It had 12 cents postage due and had a gummed label attached on which was the address 'Lee Oswald, 1602 West Nassaus Street, Dallas, Texas ...

Kennedy Herbert S. Parmet (Penguin Books, London 1984) Kennedy assassination buffs - and I confess to being one in a very small way - can't resist books about the Kennedys even when they suspect there will be nothing, not a fragment, of interest about the assassination in them. The books by Parmet and Collier and Horowitz looked like being a couple of duds, but weren't quite that. What ...

... , h/b , £18.99 P rofessor Mellen spoke about 'Mac' Wallace, who is one of the two subjects of this book, a couple of years ago in a lecture,1 and it was clear when this book was announced that it was going to try and debunk the LBJ-dunnit thesis in the JFK assassination. In Mellen's view, that thesis has just two planks: the fingerprint of Malcolm 'Mac' Wallace apparently found on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD hereafter) just after the assassination and the allegations of the late Billie Sol Estes. The fingerprint issue is dealt with by an expert hired by Mellen. Working ...

Both were primarily dedicated to the JFK assassination, though Probe also covered the King family's landmark case and its successful outcome -- establishing that Dr Martin Luther King was killed, not by a lone assassin, but by a conspiracy. This story was largely ignored by the American and British media, including our own dear Guardian, whose American reportage is in a class of its own when it comes to stumblefootedness and unthinking fealty to ...
